Firstly.. I really want responses from people who understand the mechanics of this game and how the loot system works. From my understanding it's persistence.. and this is where I'm pissed.
I've played the alpha since it came out in 2013. My friends and I would play for hours. It was buggy, we would die from walking down stairs, etc., but the ONE thing that kept us playing was the loot. It didn't matter if it was a fresh server or not, we knew where to go.
Now, I'm not blaming them for changing loot spawns, but it's absolutely ridiculous that I've played with several people together on the same sever several times and after 30+ minutes we can only find Pipsi or some stupid Michelin tires. Really?
Don't tell me to go up north either. Been there done that and found a revolver with no ammo. The loot respawn needs to change. This game has been in alpha for 3 years and THE ONLY change worth mentioning is that your computer won't crash every time you go into town.
This community is losing players quick, it's quite sad because if you could easily find loot and not snow tires people would want to group up for bambis or to do stuff. Instead, you join a sever and spend most of your time running around hoping the loot has spawned near you. It's not fun or intense it's absolutely reprehensible.
Please someone, anyone, JUSTIFY this. Tell me it's "alpha bro" so I can point you to H1Z1 which hasn't been around as long but has more players and WAY MORE content (vehicles, better loot spawns) than DayZ.
Bohemia already got their money from us stupid enough to believe they would make this game great. They should be arrested for robbing us all and thrown in jail. Seriously.. we aren't even talking about the horrid graphics.. we don't care. MAKE THIS PLAYABLE WITH LOOT AND NOT A RUNNING SIMULATOR. You're regressing! SHAMEFUL!
